Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. What should I eat during heavy menstrual bleeding?Doctor's answer:
Menstrual hypermenorrhea, from a TCM perspective, refers to a condition where the menstrual cycle is generally normal, but the menstrual flow exceeds 100 milliliters, which is considered excessive. It is classified into three types: qi deficiency, blood heat, and blood stasis.The situation you described requires local treatment, such as rinsing the vagina with a 0.5%–1% lactic acid or acetic acid solution or a Ph4 weak acid-formulated feminine care solution once daily. Oral antibiotics and other medications may also be used. Additionally, pay attention to local hygiene to prevent cross-infection.
